Oven Roasted Cauliflower
When you roast cauliflower, it develops a delightful nutty flavor and its edges become beautifully caramelized. This method is incredibly simple; I combine it with garlic, a splash of lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Once it’s done roasting, I finish it off with a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a hint of lemon zest for an extra burst of freshness.
